I made a post about this not long ago. About two weeks ago I had to make an emergency visit to the dentist because of one of my wisdom teeth. I had the x-rays and discovered that mine are horizontally impacted. He just gave me antibiotics to sort out the pain, and reassured me that the operation required to remove them was much more severe than the problem they were already causing. The dentist also said he had been suffering from the same infection as mine, and periodically took antibiotics to deal with it over the years!

My pain cleared up in about 2 days, and I stopped taking the antibiotics after that as they were making me have the most weird dizzy spells.
